Scagliola - Sansì Frem

A structured still Barbera d'Asti aged in oak, about 50,000 bottles a year. Frem means firm and robust in Piedmontese.

Tasting notes

Garnet red tending to brick with age. Intensely vinous perfume that evolves into a composed, continuous bouquet. Dry, frank, sustained and generous, with good body, savory texture and character.

Pairs well with

Pasta, meat, game, medium-aged cheeses and cold cuts.
